Enemies in DmC: Devil May Cry

The enemies in DmC follow a design similar to the past Devil May Cry enemies, particularly mannequins, opting for a more creepy appearance with veins and exposed bits of rubbery flesh, giving them more sense of realism than past enemies. When they are struck, many "bleed" a substance said to be quite similar to black paint.

Warrior Drone
The most common enemy in DmC, Warrior Drones are very agile and their body weight is enough to dent the top of cars, despite their slim build. As of now, there are two variants of the Warrior Drone, one with a giant razorblade on its arm and another with a chainsaw. But, there also appears to be a Warrior Drone that uses a shield to deflect attacks.

Stinger
A demonic cherub who specializes in long range attacks from the air using a crossbow that shoots balls of fire. They can also carry a small shield that deflects attacks, and will need to be torn from their arm before Dante can deal damage.

Tank Drone
The strongest and toughest among the enemies introduced so far in DmC. Liberal use of the Arbiter will help to crack its tough hide that bullets seem to bounce right off of. They use their massive frames to rush at Dante.

CCTV Camera
Several CCTV cameras in Limbo city appear to be infested by demonic beings. If a CCTV Camera spots Dante, it can pull him into Limbo, and block passages off. To proceed, he will have to destroy the eye stalk.

Demonic Shards
Little is known about this form of enemy at this time, but it seems to have some kind of connection with the city itself. They appear to spawn in a liquid form similar to blood, before crystallizing and shattering to form spikes which will attack Dante. The only defense show to be effective against them is to shoot the shards with Ebony and Ivory, as shooting it in crystallized form causes the bullets to ricochet, possibly harming Dante.

"Unknown Demon"
A large, gorilla-like demon encountered at the pier near Dante's trailer. It used a giant combat knife to fight the young demon hunter, but not before pulling Dante's home into the ocean with an oversized grappling claw.

Trivia
The grappling hook weapon used by unknown demon is similar to a weapon used by Dante himself in latter gameplay. Possibly it is the same item taken from the demon like a Devil Arm from the original series.

Background
Drones are male honey bees that lack a stinger. A drone is also the term for a remote control robot.
